It is often said that severe cold is followed by extreme heat. The scene of the "bomb cyclone" frozen greenhouse on the 10th at the beginning of the year is still fresh in my mind (please review the tweet "Ice and Fire-my own succulent greenhouse"). Since last weekend, a rare heat wave has ravaged most of North America in the past 33 years. In the first few days of July, New York was indescribably hot. The car turned into an oven when it went out with its own flames. Under the double attack of high temperature and high humidity, the somatosensory temperature has exceeded 40 degrees for many days in a row. Edit the article this will hear a few blocks away sharp fire engine whistle, I am afraid where the wire temperature is too high spontaneous combustion fire!

New York belongs to the north temperate zone, with four distinct seasons and abundant Rain Water, with both cold winters and hot summers. The climate is somewhat similar to that of the capital Beijing, and it is not a succulent hanging area in any case.

There used to be a joke from meat friends in New York: although New York is not an open hanging area, only a 5-meter radius of Shelly is an exception. In fact, it is only the conscientious and conscientious owner who takes into account all kinds of things in advance when decorating the yard. After all, it is the third summer, and the high temperature, showers, insect pests, black rot and so on are already well known.

After two years of summer experience, I specially designed this succulent shelf. The shelf must be 1 meter above the cement floor. in addition to not having to bend over, the reason is not only to avoid high temperature radiation damage to the roots of the cement floor, but also to facilitate air convection at the bottom of the shelf.

I especially like this white iron net shelf. In fact, it is the kind of sundries that I bought in the building materials store. Compared with the plank, it has the advantages of ventilation and ventilation, no stagnant water at the bottom of the basin, and no heat absorption like the black iron frame. New York has a lot of rain, more than twice as much as Beijing and Los Angeles, especially from May to October, when there is a shower almost every day. So I gave up the rain cover early and chose the red pottery basin and the iron mesh frame to improve the problem of stagnant water at the bottom of the basin.

The Bluebird of May

The bluebird in July still maintains the bright colors of spring.

The recognition of the Moon Shadow Department in July is OK, at least it is not full of dishes.

The queen of roses

The whole family has become the porter of flowerpots when they return home, but I still can't give up my love for ugly red pottery pots this summer.

With N beautiful pots, finally let Chihuahua live back to the original shack.

The way of putting the sunshade net this year is also a little different from that of previous years, that is, it is pulled up as high as possible, and the principle and shelf are the same, so as to facilitate air flow. No matter how hot and tired it is, I will still take it off in the evening and let the succulent plant fully accept the baptism of the breeze and the moisture of the morning dew.

The most indispensable thing for a summer resort is water, and so is succulent, and its aura comes from the moisture of fog. Spraying water sooner or later to lower the temperature of the ground and spraying high-altitude spray to reduce the heat of the air were learned during a visit to the Arizona greenhouse last year.

The mage is the most brilliant and charming composition in the succulent world in summer. on the contrary, the high-temperature sky is more enclosed, in the form of roses. The mage of my family does not pay special attention to matching soil, but can grow healthily if it is planted in sand mixed with nutritious soil.

Cyclops

Funiang is one of the most beautiful succulent plants in summer, whether it is ping-pong or stick leaves, the deeper the purplish red on the leaves in the sun.

Sunset is also the kind of leprechaun that does not fade for a thousand years.

Luckily, if I have a small yard, it is a very interesting and necessary task for me to build a harmonious courtyard microclimate. For example, figure out how to trim branches to protect succulent trees from the scorching sun, and how to plant flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables to absorb heat and cool the yard for a cool summer.

The wall of the west sun is covered with small iron, and the big window of the living room is covered with Petunia. No matter what the psychological effect, I always feel a little cooler.

A green wall full of Dutch beans can not only absorb the heat of the sun and relax the eyes, but also benefit the stomach far away from abroad.

Planting two roses can not only serve as a succulent sunshade plant but also bring fragrance.

Under the melon shed is a convalescent area for seedlings, disabled and succulent patients. Don't underestimate this position. In the north, there is neither direct sunlight in summer nor convection passing through the wind. When it rains, as long as you put two umbrellas on the shed, you can let them spend the summer properly.

The ugly packaged meat collected two months ago was in the convalescent area, which made an earth-shaking change.

Summer is the season to enjoy an eyeful of green, and it is joyful to see such a thick or light green as a competent host. There is nothing more comfortable than looking at a vibrant vitality.

This year's arrow lotus has been brilliant for a whole month. In terms of maintenance, there is no shortage of light, no lack of water, no lack of fertilizer.

Mexican Snowball has been around since the first contribution, and each contribution has witnessed its growth.

Lipstick is the star of the succulent world in summer, both leather and flamboyant.

In the cold winter, the greenhouse is your hanging area; in the middle of summer, the yard has become your summer resort! May your beauty extend all the time!

The encyclopedic monarch has a broken mind:

Thanks to the contribution of "Shelly", the leader of the encyclopedia overseas meat group, we can also enjoy the colorful flesh color in summer. The small courtyard is small but well organized, which shows the author's care and carefulness. This must be what everyone has always wanted: the world is so big, but I only want a small courtyard. Flowers bloom all over the garden, be at ease, and plant your favorite succulent plants. From then on, flowers and plants are companions and birds are friends. Life is short, I wish I could have such a clean and relaxing place as soon as possible!
